Rock duo Nova Twins have been making waves this summer, having already performed at over 26 festivals. Earlier this week, the band stopped by Mad Cool to share their secret to delivering electrifying performances, despite the exhaustion that comes with festival season.
Guitarist and vocalist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South explained that the energy from the crowd helps keep them going. “Once you hit the stage the adrenaline kicks in and the crowd gives that energy back and you can’t help but exchange this energy across. We love to perform,” said South. Love added, “A lot of the time lately to get around all these festivals we’re on like two hours sleep… but if the crowd are amazing it just doesn’t matter. We always want to do good by them, because they’ve shown up, they’re sometimes in the heat, they’re sometimes thirsty or in the rain, battling against the elements, so it’s our job to make sure they’re having a great time and feeling good about themselves. We’ll always bring that energy.”
The duo shared that they feel grateful for the artists that have supported them over the years, including Elton John and Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello, citing the advice they have received from them as shaping their attitude towards other artists in the rock scene. “We’re just super grateful for the artists that have supported us over the years. We always try to help other artists in the same way that other artists helped us…it’s not about being like ‘Who’s the best band?’ or whatever, it’s about working together as a unit and just creating music for everyone,” said South.
Nova Twins have also been celebrating the first anniversary of their second album ‘Supernova’, and have plans for new music. “We’ve definitely got some stuff cooking,” said Love. “We’re really excited about writing new music, [however] it’s really important sometimes to go away, do gigs and live your life so you’ve got something to write about.” South added, “We never set ourselves any boundaries so if we end up writing something that we’ve never written before, we’ll never shut it out. We’re very open to different things or whatever feels good for us.”
It’s clear that Nova Twins are a band to watch, and their commitment to supporting other artists in the rock scene is inspiring. Fans can look forward to new music from the duo in the near future.
